The paper discusses the connection between rhythm and meaning based on Augustine’s De musica . This central topic is illuminated by the analysis of other particular aesthetic concepts that one can find in Augustine (such as sentience and desire , in its many Latin variations), as well as in reference to modern aesthetics. The result is the emergence of a relationship between aesthetics and the making of meaning in a co-creative operation between the divine and the human based upon an understanding of rhythm.
